Tractor-trailer crash spills water bottles across highway

Two tractor-trailers crashed Thursday night, spilling water bottles across the highway. 

Around 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, state police responded to a crash on Route 460 near the intersection of Route 639 in Isle of Wight County. 

Officials say that Leslie Paul-Moore Turner, the driver of a 2020 Volvo tractor-trailer, was hauling an empty trailer when it became disabled in the right-hand lane. Turner was still in his cab when a second tractor-trailer struck his vehicle. 

The second tractor-trailer was hauling an enclosed trailer of water bottles when it hit the first tractor-trailer.
